    hi,

    it is really quiet over here. when you'd like to have your AspireOne just as quiet there is a small part of the kernel that does the job -- acerhdf (see http://www.piie.net/index.php?section=acerhdf). I encountered this piece of software looking at the terminal output from update -y...

    Code:
    $ su -
# echo -n "enabled" > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
    and your fan wil only take off when needed.

    the only post about implementing acerhdf I found was for *buntu but it didn't work with Fedora 16 LXDE. so I emailed Peter, the author of acerhdf. he gave following reply

    you could do following line as root:

    Code:
    echo "options acerhdf verbose=0 fanon=62000 fanoff=52000 interval=10 kernelmode=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/acerhdf.conf
    then on the next start, acerhdf should automatically take over fan control.
